A famous travelling salesman problem, appearing simple to state but complex solve, has been widely investigated and various algorithms have proposed. In this article, mixed integer linear programming of python (MIP) is used model problem with varying input data. The result shows that small data the modelling code MIP executing quickly converging optimal value, while large scale require plenty c...

This work addresses the topic of constrained dynamic programming for problems involving multi-stage mixed-integer linear formulations with a linear objective function. It is shown that such problems may be decomposed into a series of multi-parametric mixed-integer linear problems, of lower dimensionality, that are sequentially solved to obtain the globally optimal solution of the original probl...

This paper aims to compare a two-echelon and a single-echelon distribution system. A mathematical model for the Single-Echelon Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (SE-CVRP) is proposed. This SE-CVRP is the counterpart of Two-Echelon Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (2E-CVRP) introduced in the authors’ previous work. The proposed mathematical model is Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming (MIN...

We discuss a mixed-integer nonlinear programming formulation for the problem of covering a set of points with a given number of slabs of minimum width, known as the bottleneck variant of the hyperplane clustering problem. We derive several linear approximations, which we solve using a standard mixed-integer linear programming solver. A computational comparison of the performance of the differen...

We propose mathematical programming models for solving problems arising from planning and running an energy production process based on burning biomasses. The models take into account different aspects of the problem: determination of the biomasses to produce and/or buy, transportation decisions to convey the materials to the respective plants, and plant design. Whereas the “running model” is l...
